The United Arab Emirates has expressed profound sorrow and heartfelt condolences to Turkey in the wake of the tragic military cargo plane crash that occurred on Wednesday, resulting in the loss of 20 soldiers.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of the UAE has extended its sympathies to the victims' families as well as to the Turkish government and citizens, highlighting a shared grief over this tragic loss. The statement underscores the UAE’s unwavering commitment to stand by Turkey in these challenging times.

This unfortunate incident involved a C-130 cargo aircraft that was on its way from Azerbaijan to Turkey when it tragically went down in Georgia.
